Ha! This, with a bit of Clash and Killing Joke was on my pre-pub mix tape back in the '80s. Just a punk rocker from Peckham getting ready for a night of fun and frolics. Even now that song makes me feel pumped up and ready for a bit of mischief and I'm 57. Ought to know better at my age.

I moved to Orpington and then to Bromley where I played bass in a band, we used to cover Rebel, Rebel and Jean Genie by Bowie, Funtime and Lust For Life by Iggy Pop. We were bloody terrible but, again, Iggy was there with me.

The 80's were my wild years, Iggy Pop and Iggy and the Stooges were a part of my life's soundtrack.

Iggy was, and still is criminally underrated. He made punk rock happen, convinced blokes you can be a rock star with three chords and no musical training.

"Lust For Life" (with a London accent) is a buoyant, propulsive track that snarles with attitude. It induces you to move and listen to the longing in the lyrics. It's a rock n roll carnival assault! And if you're lucky enough you may be able to have free lunch for life as well...

The tambourine was, imo, a BIG part of the driving energy of this epic song. Perfect accompaniment to the drums.

When people talk about Iggy growing up in a trailer - well, his father was a high school teacher. At the time, Detroit and the surrounding cities like Ann Arbour and Ypsilanti attracted more and more people due to the growing automobile industry. Since construction of houses couldn't keep up, several trailer parks were built for ordinary people like the Osterbergs. The place Iggy grew up in was not what we today think of when we hear "trailer park".

Awesome video, BTW. I wish I could hear this song again for the first time. One of my all-time faves.

Lust For Life and The Idiot have also been very, very influential in germany. It was all around and a must in every club playlist or private record collection. I listened to both maybe a thousand times or more, mostly from a shabby cassette player in my old car. And as I remember, they really sounded really well and dynamic, even with small and bad speakers, which might be an interesting detail in perspective of music production.

Lust for Life and Boys Keep Swinging (Bowie), I'll never forget when I first heard those songs. To me so representative of that era.

On the one and only cruise I ever went on, the theme song, for lack of a better term, was Lust for Life. It was the best part of the cruise. Every time you lifted up the phone, every time you went in the elevator, you’d hear that drum beat.

Super video, this song made me climb over the fences of the Pinkpop festival, I dropped of a friend with my car, didn't have a ticket, wasn't thinking of going myself but they were playing Lust for life in the campingfestival tent, it worked like a magnet to me, I climbed the fence, went dancing and had a three day free festival in the end!

Just iconic!!when I hear lust for life I can't resist to start to dance like a fool.

Love this breakdown of this classic, thanks for all your insights! One small error: the Toppop performance with the creative rearrangement by Iggy of the decor pieces was NOT pre-arranged. It was Iggy being not happy at having to do a playback performance, sulking in his dressingroom, and storming out when they started the music anyway. PS: I am a Dutchie and was 14 when I saw it on TV. Parents in shock, and me dancing around the room!

The Passenger is the greatest song ever. Iggy Pop manages to capture the feel of a random night out to a tee in that song. It's kind of spooky the mood that song sets. The mystery of the sum of the parts being greater than any part.

So much of the LFL beat is that kick sound. It sounds almost like the kick is the snare.

This song was THE MAJOR song tagline of an American Cruise Ship corporation for many years. Selling out or not, that is no small payday, or it sure shouldn't be.

Finally! An in depth look into what I consider the greatest rock-n-roll song of all time. Dripping menace, and basically about in Iggy's words- A song about how things you enjoy doing can fuck you up. If I could go back in time, hanging out at Hansa Studios the evening of June 8th 1977 would be one of them. A song so well produced and perfect, it defies explanation. Ricky Gardiner's guitar alone sums it up perfectly. (A 1971 Stratocaster w/a built in sustainer. He told me himself.)

Funny thing I saw Iggy and David Bowie on the Dinah Shore television show in January 77. I was fascinated by the energy. I bought the album a short time later long before it had made any kind of splash. I still have that piece of vinyl. Thanks for your insight Warren!

[L.A.W.Studios]

That. has. to. be.. THEE rawest, most bombastic drum sound! ..at that time.. The Sales Bros, A Teutonic Terror! Thank You! thank you! for featuring this song & making several attitude point..

[NotDingse]

15:47 that’s 100 % Bowie’s voice singing those harmonies!

[matthewpaluch]

😎👍 HUNT ROCKS!!!

I love his playing with Tim Machine!
It was very sad that they couldn't reunite before David passed!

[gregorycurry]

Great moment in “Desperately Seeking Susan” with Richard Hell in a van blasting Lust for Life. So late 70s NYC. With a soon to be discovered Madonna. Amazing song!

[sspbrazil]

Great song and great album, my favorite song on this album is still “Neighborhood Threat”. I’m originally from the Detroit area and we have deep music roots which I’m very proud of. Thanks Warren. R.I.P. Ricky Gardiner.
